Add new Airtable records to Notion databases

Every record created in your Airtable table is copied into a Notion database as a new item, so people who work in Notion see the same entries without logging into Airtable.

The Add new Airtable records to Notion databases workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Airtable, Notion
The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Teams often split across tools. Operations may run a structured base in Airtable while the wider company plans and writes in Notion. When the two don't talk, someone copies records over by hand, or the Notion side falls behind.

Adding a record to the Airtable table you choose starts the run. FlowMattic receives that record's fields and hands them to Notion. The Create Database Item step then adds an item to the Notion database you choose, with each Airtable field mapped to a Notion property.

This is a one-way copy of new records. Later edits in Airtable don't change the Notion item, and changes in Notion don't go back to Airtable. Plan for the Notion database to receive new items while Airtable stays the place you edit. Each run is visible in Task History, so you can check what reached Notion.

Content ideas collected in Airtable

Your team logs article ideas in an Airtable form view. Each idea appears in the editorial Notion database where writers plan and draft.

Client onboarding tracker

Sales adds a new client record in Airtable. The delivery team gets a matching item in their Notion projects database to start onboarding.

Bug reports from a support base

Support records issues in Airtable. Product managers see each new report as an item in the Notion database they triage from.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

  1. Step 1Trigger
    Airtable New Record

    Starts a run whenever a record is added to the Airtable table you select. All of its fields become available for mapping into Notion.

  2. Step 2Action
    Notion Create Database Item

    Adds an item to your chosen Notion database. Map each Airtable field to the matching Notion property, such as a title, a select or a date.

What you need

  • FlowMatticCore
  • Airtable AccountAccount
  • Notion AccountAccount

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

  • Add a Filter after the Airtable trigger so only records with a certain value, for example Type equals Client, are copied to Notion.
  • Match field types when you map: send Airtable dates to a Notion date property and plain text to a text property, then check one test item for anything that came through blank.
  • Create one test record in Airtable after import so FlowMattic captures its fields, then map them and confirm the item looks right in Notion.

Questions about this workflow

Do Airtable edits update the Notion item?

No. The template only copies new records. It has no step that finds and updates the Notion item, so later changes in Airtable stay in Airtable.

Will my existing Airtable records be copied into Notion?

No. Only records created after you turn the workflow on are copied. Move older ones over separately if you need them.

Can one Airtable record go to two Notion databases?

Yes. Add a second Create Database Item step pointed at the other database. Both steps run for each new record.

What if the Notion database is missing a property for an Airtable field?

Add the property in Notion first, then map the field to it. Fields you leave unmapped are simply not copied.

Crafting bridges between my favorite apps, FlowMattic has truly impressed me with its ability to seamlessly automate workflows. This has noticeably accelerated the efficiency of my business processes, making everything run more smoothly and productively.

It's very straightforward, has a lot integrations and they work well. It is one thing to 'integrate' new external software, but integrating it well, with lots of options is where FlowMattic shines.
